CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE Korcmber Trade Promises to Bo Very Satis factory to Jobbora. COLLECTIONS AS A RULE QUITE GOOD jobbers Iteport a Very Fair Movement of Ooo < l During tha 1'nntVcckWlntcr Btoclcii Are Hclnjr llrokcn , Necessi tating Sorting Up Union. The past wcclc lias witnessed n , continu ance of the very fair tnulo that has pre vailed nil tlio month. There has been no especially Interesting features to the trade , uut there has been Blmply a. good , fair movement of seasonable Roods , anil the Job bers , as a rule , express themselves no well pleased with the showing made so far this month. Of course , business Is not what many would like to see It , but It Is fully as good na could be expected under the circum stances , and that 13 about all that could be asked. Uuslncsfl In the grocery line has been quite good durlnn the past six days and eoino of the local houses claim that they 'nave occn rushed to get all the orders oui on time. The "grocery market has been very firm and the general tendency has been toward hlKhcr prices. The Jobbers of dry goods report that stocks of winter goods In. the country are being broken to some extent , and that sort ing up ordera are commencing to arrive , which Is helping out the volume of busi ness very materially. , , In boots anil shoca there Is a fair trade for the 'season of the year , and there appears to be no ( Deposition on the- part of the job bers engaged In that line to complain. 8 - , verer weather would * without doubt , greatly facilitate the movement of goods In a Job bing way , oa It would stimulate the retail trade and cause stocks to be1 broken. Collections In almost all lines are re ported as very satisfactory. Borne of the Jobbers are reporting that It t a matter of nurprlRO that collections should be as peed us they are. The loss of the crops was BiipIKJsed to place the country In very.bad * < hnpe , as there would bo little for the farmers to sell and money woidd naturally be very scarce. In view of the conditions In the country Jobbers Kay that they do not see whore the money comes from , bomo are Inclined to offer the explanation that the smaller linns that are really hard up are not trying to buy , and that It is the larger firms that formerly bought In the east that nro giving their business to Omaha nt the present time , and that they have money , or can get It as they require It Is a. fact , however , that trade In this stale Is light , and there Is every reason for believing that there will not be much life'to It until the coming of another crop. In the' states west of Nebraska there Is a large and very satisfactory business doing anil it ls from that source that the Omaha jobbers arc receiving their best trade. During the past week the bank clearings nt Omaha have shown a decided Increase , nmountlng to over 8 per cent. While this city does not show as heavy gains as some other places , It Is still ahead of the average for the whole country. As the holiday scapon draws nearer the Inquiry for goodn of the character usually In demand nt that season Is Increasing am ! the Jobbers handling such are reporting an Improvement In trade. This appears to be the coso In all cities , as well as In Omahn , ami Is the usual condition expected at this The banquet held In this city by the com- mlHslon men on Friday evening h one more evidence of the Increased Interest that 1 : being created among that branch of tratlt In this city. The members of the fruit and produce trade In all parts of-the country appear to be waking up to the Importance of uniting for the purpose of creating n better feeling among the members of tht trade , and for the further object of protectIng - Ing shipper * against the fraudulent linns thai nro springing up all over the country , and which have brought disrepute upon tht business. Reputable ilrms In all parts ol the country uro making a great effort ti elevate the business , and to old In thai movement a national association has beer formed , limited to Ilrms that are known t < bo reliable , and responsible. Omaha , commla Blon men nrc fully olive to the movemen that Is going on In other cities'and propos < to do their part. In January there wll be a meeting of the national league and ti \a expected that Omaha will be fully rep resented on that occasion. AS DUN SKIM IT. Oood Times Not Yet Hero but tlio Wuvo I : Itolllug on from the Hrtst. Mr. W. II. Iloberson , speaking of tradi as viewed from the standpoint of II. G Dun & Co.'s Mercantile Agency , says : "Good times nro probably coming , but 1 is a serious' mistake to expect them a once. They are not here , and hope Is al the business world has nt present to buo ; It up In the general depression which ha overwhelmed the country at large In th last two years. . . . . "Trade is dull In nearly every jobblni line , though the cool weather the first par of the week stimulated some actlvlt ; among dealers In dry goods and clothing The fact that winter Is already here wa brought forcibly to the attention of even- body , and everybody began to hustle fo cold weather clothing "Very little can be said to encourage th 'downhearted locally , but all reports fror the east agree that there Is a decided 1m provement there nnd the wave must nee csgarlly move westward. Money Is nbun Uant , and clearings show a gain over year IXBO. "Locally , there Is quite a discussion eve the freight rules adopted governing max Imum and minimum weights of carloads The packers think this will have the dlrec affect of Increasing the freight rates o their product , and they nro complalnln out loud. Of this particular controvers It may bo said that transportation com panics are. often roundly denounced fo discriminating rates , but people do not al ways hear both sides of the miestlon. "A leading Jobber once said to me tha lie would be doing business nt an actm loss It he were not given rebates by th transportation companies. Tlio remar opened my eyes , nnd on Investigating llml that , notwithstanding the Interstnt commerce- laws , rebates nro enjoyed b nearly nil heavy shippers. If packers nn jobbers would stand by each other and b the railways for unvarying nnd fair ratei there would be a good deal less quarrelln among the roads nnd less cause for coir plaint nil around. It Is practically Imposs me to determine what rates nro actually I force to mid from a given point. The con : imny which Rives a rate Into a partlcula center feels naturally that tha inunufac tured output should go out over Its lliu and If It does not so co the conclusion I Irresistible that the manufacturer Is rt celvlng special concessions from a compel Itor. The company which does not nn urally carry the business bids for It an gets It. but gets It by n system of llben rebates. The beneficiaries of the rebate keep their own counsel and perhaps Join I a general clamor for reduced rates , but tli honest truth Is that the shipper and ral way stand together nnd the rebate mi I sum Is kept very irtuch nllve. When we have Inw UKuliiHt rebates capable of enforcemei nnd absolute honesty of shippers townt each other and of railways toward enc other the trouble can be removed. tint then mun will look out for their own Inte : ests and railways will do likewise , regan less of the effect upon the less favored. "Tho Commercial club Is not asleep , Ii members nro a trllle drowsy , but the mai ngcment keeps both eyes open nnd Is coi tlnually reaching out for something to he ! the InierpstH or Omnhii. Just now a ml race truck nmt on pxixjaltlon are recelvlr attention. The publlu will bo Invited i discuss the matter nnd nn effort will I made to have a week or no of festlvllli next fall to attract visitors. " bxovv , ciiimcii & co's. VIKWS. HuslucM Itovlvnl Spiuinoillc nuil Outloo for the Immedlutn I'utura Not Oood. Albert Andrlano , local superintendent f Bnow , Church & Co.'s mercantile ngenc writes : "The slight revival of business followlt election seems only to have been spusmodl and , notwithstanding fairly seasonal ) weather , trade has not kept up as antic pnted. ' 'Hetallcrs In nil lines nre much dlscou ngcd at the dullness of local trade , Th in attributable not only to n lack of mom resulting from the crop failure , but to tl tendency to economise , which Is growli rather than diminishing , with all classes people. There Is a steady call for medlu and low priced goods In all lines of trail And expensive high grade goods of all d Bcrlptlons seem to bo In little demand. "Although trade la extremely dull In tor branches , tliero U little cause for cot of jobbing business at this centi louses Whose trade Is of necessity co ned to thin Immediate territory natural expurlenou a falling off and have BO. cause for complaint , but those who ai Cram the nature of their business or f other reasons. In a position to extend thf territory , seem to be doing well. "Northern Iowa U looming up as a prot Islne tlcld , and local jobbers report & ve fair trade from that lection. Boot ai nlio nun appear to b much encourcc I by the prospect of a fair trade In spring goods. Hardware' men report a satisfactory condition of nttnlrs and grocers nrc dolim well. In dry Roods busmen hns let up somewhat. Manufacturers of clothing have had an unusually good Reason , nnd there appears to be continued activity in that line. Collections nre very fair. "Taking Into consideration all adverse circumstances , wholesale merchants here. an n rule , express themselves very well satisfied with the condition of affairs. There Is no cause to look for nny decided revival during the early part of the com ing year , but It Is expected that general trade will hold Its level , with nn Inclina tion toward Improvement. In fact , the ul timate nnd real prosperity of this country will depend entirely upon the next crop , and crop prospects will be a controlling feature In business during the coming year. Wholesalers nre to some extent Independent of Ihvff local conditions , but retailers ore very directly dependent upon them , nnd It Is this that makes the prospect so discour aging to local tradesmen. "There Is little doubt that business will be somewhat dull In this branch during the winter , but It Is to bo hoped that with the opening of spring there will be sulll- cletit activity to make up for this to some extent. In the meanlme , every measure tending toward the improvement of local conditions should receive prompt attention nnd every effort should be made to stimulate late- local enterprise with a view to bene fiting local trade. " OMAHA GKMRAL AIAIUCEIH. Condition of Trndo nnd Quotation * on hlaplo nnil Fancy I'rnnucn. The butter market has not shown much change during the past week , though there has been a pretty fair demand for the "best grades of table butter and a corresponding flrm feeling. The commoner grades have been slow nnd dull , The receipts were considerably lighter.than for the previous week , but about the same as for thn first two weeks of the month. The egg market lias not shown nny material change Ui prices. The market has been llrm nil the week on strictly fresh slock , but there are so many cold storage eggs tu bo had that Iho prlco on strictly fresh eggs Is kept down. An to the receipts , there was a heavy falling off as compared with ihe previous week , but a slight gain over the arrivals of n month ago. Tliero are a good many cold storage eggs com ing In from country houses. Them has been very little of encouragement fop shippers In the poultry market. Prices have ruled very low , and It has been n dllllcult mat ter for receivers to keep supplies cleaned up oven at the low prices. Chickens especially have been a drug on the market.- The coming week tliero will without doubt bo a continu ance of the light demand for chickens , while them ought to ho n belter demand for turkeys. No one , however , anticipates anything but low prices under existing chcumatnnccs. As a rule shippers get their Thanksgiving poultry to mar ket most too Jate. Every year there are largo quantities of poultry that do not reach the market until Thanksgiving mamlng or until the day after , which Is tos late. The receipts of game have been liberal all the week. 1'ralrlo chickens appear to bo rather scarce and the market on them especially Him. Jack rabbits have been coming In most too plentiful , and they are quoted lower. The hay market Is very llrm , and dealers nre predicting that unless the weather becomes very good there will bo a gradual advance all the winter. Following will show the receipts for the weeks Midlng on dates Indicted at head of col umns , thn llgures representing cases ot eggs , coaps of live poultry , packages of butter raid cars of potatoes : Nov. 23.

According to the Commercial Bulletin of Nc\ York the earthquakes at Messina hnve had i serious effect upon the lemon business. Th fruit season of 1894 will never be. forgotten Such a disastrous season as the ona just close * has never been known In the history of th Italian fruit Importing business In America Many fortunes huvo been made and lost 1 lemons. There were several causes to which th serious loss both ot money and t ratio Is at trlbuted. Among them were the heavy Im porlatlon , the hard tlmts and the- fact tha California now supplies the western market almost as far east as Chicago. There were I m ported from Sicily last year 2,595,901 boxes against only 451,035 boxes In 1873. The Slclllai lemons nro considered better than those fror California and Florida , which are alike 1 : quality. The llrst sale of the season of nc\v-cu Messina lemons wan held In New Yolk th middle of the week. Prices -were from 76o to 80 mom a box than was recorded on the llrst sal In 1893. The reported earthquake was to som extent responsible for the llrmness. The cat go of the steamship Letlmbro In roun numbers was 11,000 boxes , which brought abou } (0,000. Mr. Edward M. Drown attributes th sharp advance In the lemon market to th itmall quantity on tha way from Sicily. Mi Drown also declares that the recent eartli quake had a great deal to do with It. as froi cablegrams received by leading Importers It I almost Impossible to get any fruit off froi Sicily.

WEEKLY EXPORTS QUITE A SURPRISE Corn \Vn Weak on tlio I'rcssuro ofNoir Corn Offarlnpjs from Illinois unit liullnnii and the Cubic Jtrct'lpts , CHICAGO , Nov. 21. Wheat was firm nt the start today on an Iticrcnnc In the ex ports , weakened on the Indications of n largo Increase In the visible supply , nnd rallllcd on a reported decrease In Russian crop estimates , closing % o higher for Jilay. May corn lost ifec , May oats closed un changed and provisions made moderate gains. The weekly exports of wheat and Hour , as published by UradHUoet's , was somewhat of a surprise. They amounted to 3,312,000 bu. , from both coasts , compared with 2.D09 , WO bu. on the preceding week , nnd 2,741,000 bu. for the corresponding week of last year. The Liverpool market was steadier than expected. The shorts In the market were Boon put at their ease when the receipts at Minneapolis and Uulutah were reported at 027 car loads , compared with G78 cars on the corresponding day of last year. The OpenIng - Ing price for May was 68c , and that price- was bid for a few seconds. It became rather easier shortly afterward and sold down to 5Sc , but the tendency during the remainder of the session was toward the recovery of that slight reduction. There was- leas pressure of December wheat. Oommls- ? 1on houses reported a general Improve ment In the tone pf speculative Inquiry. The narket became strong toward the end , on he receipt of a cablegram from the editor if the Liverpool Grain Trade News to the ecretnry of the Chicago Hoard of Trade , tatlng that the latest estimate on the lus.slnn wheat crop made nt SU Petersburg laced the deficiency this year nt 88,000,000 u. , ns compared with last year's final re- urns. The price closed llrm , nt CS" c for lay. Corn was we.tk on the pressure of new orn offerings from Illinois nnd Indiana nnd he cable receipts today and estimated re- lelpts for Monday. Today's receipts were 577 cars and for Monday 775 cars nre esti mated. Compared with closing prices yes- 'erday , November corn Is Vie lower ut the slose , nnd December % c lower. May opened Ac lUgher , nt 48T c , sold to 4SaC and closed * t 4Sc. For Saturday , oats did remarkably well. The strength In the neighboring cereals Irst started the activity In oats. The feei ng was generally firm during the greater iart of the session , although ptlccs avcr- ged about steady. May ranged from 32VSc to 323sc and 32c , opening at 32Vio and clos- "ng with sales nt that price. November -nled steady at yesterday's last quotations. The provision market was fairly good and prices llrmer. The run of hogs for the ensuing week Is not expected to bo nearly ns heavy ns that of the present and past weeks. Prices , compared with yesterday's closing , show gains ns follows : Pork , Gcj 'ard , 2V6 to Gc , and ribs , 2'Jc for May de- Ivery. January ribs unchanged.
